A full canoe can take him up to a year, depending on the wood species. He made one once from ebony, which is extremely difficult to work. Also if it wasn’t clear, these aren’t intended for use. They all do (except for the ebony - he said the heat absorption from the dark color would delaminate the fiberglass coat within hours) float and work extremely well if you want, but given the cost, most people use them as art.
He also makes paddles, which are still expensive (I think the cheapest starts at about $1000), but some people actually use those.
